is there any real difference between a 100w arcadia halogen and a ge floodlight from lowes?

Yes that would be great I appreciate it.

Also would inmount intthe middle or towards the back?

The t8 is 36 inches just in case.... So you say the t5 would be safe mounted to the ceiling. I would need to raise that basking spot 2 inches though correct? Also my current t5 is 36 inches, inside a reptisun hood. Do they make brackets or anything to hang these inside?

I have a 4x2x2 custom enclosure. When doing this, I completely forgot to factor in height for the T8 bulb. Quick background...I was under the impression that a T5 bulb can only be used OUTSIDE of an enclosure (like the 36'' one I have right now sitting on top of his screen). I was informed that...

If I just do regular drylock, then paint that with acrylic paint, do you have to seal it? What's the best way or best paint to use with dryloc to get the color right and to make it a bit more thin?

I currently have a 36x18x18 glass enclosure. The top is a screen. I have two fans on the top edge of the cool side pulling air out. I found this to lower humidity for me the best with this setup. I will be going to a 48x24x24 plywood enclosure with a closed off top and sliding glass doors. I...

Looking to do a plywood enclosure. I read that a vent should be on the side up top on the hot side and side down low on cool side to allow for convection. Is this correct?

Are you dealing it then painting, paint then seal, or just one or the other?

As the title says. If I go with wood, like some type of plywood, what should the inside be treated with that is safe for the dragon? Any specific brands/products? On a side note, plywood, melamine, or some other type? What is the preference? Melamine seems heavy.

Any advantages/disadvantages of using pvc over plywood or some other type?

I am in Dallas. I can't seem to find any at Lowe's or HD.

I am on a couple of facebook groups. One says cool side humidity should be 30%-40% during the day. The other keeps telling me it has to be below 30% on the cool side. I live in Dallas texas. It can get humid here. right now, the room he is in has 35% humidity. I could throw a dehumidifier in...
